Excellent tool for productive collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
I love the dynamic nature of working with others in Miro. We can see structures emerge through our interactions. It's a whole new way of working for me. One of the good things that's come from my experience of home working during the Covid-19 pandemic is exposure to new tools; Miro is the only tool I have found which I feel gives me new capability, rather than a pale replacement of something I can do IRL. I love Miro, and I intend to make it a part of my research, collaboration, planning and teaching in the future. I imagine that when we return to face-to-face interaction, having real time access to this tool while we all communicate live will be hugely productive.
What do you dislike about the product?
At the moment, we're having some issues with the academic licence which makes it hard for us to roll out use of Miro across the whole organisation. I think this is just teething troubles, and the Miro customer support have been very helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Most useful for collaborative ideation and knowledge capture.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it!
Miro has everything I need in one place.
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is the most complete tool for me, it has everything I need and more. I don't think any other tool has the same features as Miro.
What do you dislike about the product?
Google Images plugin isn't working as it used to.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I work with design, so I use it for collaborating with colleagues and clients. With Miro, I can centralize all I need in one single place.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You won't regret choosing Miro, it's an awesome tool that will help you a lot in your daily activities. It has a lot of different plugins to install and use to facilitate your day by day. I use it every day and have nothing to complain about. You can check it out and try it by yourself. The more you use it, the more you will love it. If you want to collaborate with others and centralize your links, documents, and discoveries, Miro is the right thing for you. Using Miro is very easy, and it is always getting better with new features and plugins appearing all the time. I tried other whiteboard tools and I can say that they don't have the same features as Miro has. It is a working tool that is also very fun to use, everything is very intuitive, so you always know where to find the features you need. The odds are that if you need a feature, Miro will have it to offer to you. Try it by yourself and you will understand what I am talking about, you will get addicted to Miro, LOL.
Miro is Visio on steroids
What do you like best about the product?
The upsides of using Miro are collaborating live on the virtual whiteboard to create a chart or diagram. I've used other programs, and real-time synchronous collaboration is not as they say it is. I like the fact that there are many templates of diagrams to choose from and a good set of training videos to help you along the way.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UX is rather cluttered. For someone who has expert use in other collaborative software, initially, there is lots to figure out i.e., how to share the whiteboard, how to get help, what all the buttons and functions do.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are creating storyboards for online learning collaboratively. Also, the opportunity to share ideas virtually with a geographically disparate team is useful synchrounously.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Miro has myriad ways of drawing charts and diagrams, and with that, you can collaborate with peers, so all the better.
If you love diagrams, mind maps, and all kind of drawing, then MIRO is what you are looking for
What do you like best about the product?
Ufff, their intuitive interface, and of course, the amazing templates library. Miro came into my life when I was looking for a solution that helps me to transfer what is inside my head into graphics, and I am so happy I found it.
More recently I loved the App for Zoom. Now I can use Miro to teach without needing to share my display.

What do you dislike about the product?
I don't dislike anything, I am very satisfied with Miro, but I would love to also use it to draw funnels so I don't have to use another tool for it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am always buying sketchbooks to draw my ideas, strategies, and more. The problem with that is that sometimes they get erased or the sheets get lost, so I lost work. Last year I designed a very big flowchart for a project and for some reason I couldn't find it later.
Also, I am a teacher and sometimes I need to show my students things on the go. For that I use drawing since my brain works better in that way. When classes were presential, I used blackboard for that, but now classes are virtual I can use Miro for that, especially after they launched the APP for Zoom.
Now, for that kind of thing, I use Miro.

Don't get overwhelmed over all the options of templates. Just find out what you need, the goal and using that pick.
Great tool for teams, consultants & enterprises
What do you like best about the product?
I've been using MIro for almost 4 years, first with a consultant profile. I was impressed by the ease of access for the external collaborators I invited to use Miro and the close to the non-existing on-boarding time needed.
The tool is equally suitable for wireframing, diagramming, brainstorming, and product discovery. My customers loved it.
2 years ago, the company I work for purchased Enterprise licenses after a comparison with Mural, LucidSpark and FigJam. The flexible licensing model of Miro is really good, and allows us to grow the usage on a pace that fits our budget and needs. After 2 years of usage, we are still happy about this product and especially happy about the constant user-centric development that always keeps the product fit for our needs.

What do you dislike about the product?
Miro offers everything that could be considered a must for virtual collaboration. Nevertheless, there are several areas of improvement that Miro team could work on to make their product even greater:
1. Jira Cards integration is done on a team level, not on Enterprise subscription level. We have 15+ teams in our enterprise subscription, meaning we need to do the integration 15 times.
2. Some competitors are more focused on Agile flow support & Jira integrations and offer Dynamic backlog management tools (LucidSpark and Stormboard), so it will be great if Miro focuses on this in the near future.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Miro in several directions:
1. Goal Setting (Objectives and Key Results), their set-up and tracking in a collaborative model;
2. Quarterly planning events and workshops;
3. Product discovery sessions.
4. Roadmap planning & Roadmap updates.
The main benefits we get from Miro are ease of communication, visualization of progress, transparency, and enhanced collaboration between teams.
The integration with Jira helps us automate part of the flow of planning, removing the need to transfer information from a whiteboard to the planning tool!

Miro aids online workshop facilitation and collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
During lockdown, the Miro board helps replace the usual workshops with ability to capture input from virtual attendees, ensuring all stakeholder perspectives are captured. Importantly, the ability to print the boards and extract comments as text means there is no transcription of workshop attendee input.
What do you dislike about the product?
Functionality around who can control, move items on a board. Also enhanced features around temporary closure of a board (say with a timer) while workshop participants are presenting. Sometimes attendees are distracted by the board and need to focus on presentations before capturing the next round of thoughts.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro has been great for capturing reviews of project designs, plans, reports in an online workshop setting. Paired with functionality like participant surveys through TEAMS, it is a very powerful collaboraiton tool.

Easy-to-use virtual whiteboard for workshops
What do you like best about the product?
After testing Mural and Miro (Jamboard was too basic) I chose Miro. The tool menu is very intuitive, with very clear options and highly visual. I love that Miro is very user-friendly so it is a tool that I can introduce to a group of people that have never seen it and get them using it really fast without having to spend time in a long introduction. I also like that it works smooth and fast. A good performance is key for me since a slow reaction or small delays would be extremely annoying during a virtual meeting, so far I have had no problems with performance in virtual workshops. I also find extremely useful some functions like the timer, background music and the option for selecting a number of post-its and allow the participants to vote them. I also like the simplicity of the drawing tools. Maybe Mural can allow for more sophisticated figures and I have seen people using it for developing worflows and complex diagrams, but Miro serves most of my drawing needs to be able to set up the board for a group activity.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have mixed feelings regarding how tables are managed in Miro. Some functionalities are brilliant, but then for some common actions with tables Miro requires a different behaviour/interaction and it is a bit difficult to get used to it or to get someone new to use them easily. Still, this is a functionality for the owner of the board before using it with workshop participants, so it is not much of a problem. I also find a bit disappointing the mindmaps. There are many applications online that are really flexible and easy to use and Miro would benefit from trying to emulate them because mindmaps are also a very useful collaborative tool. So far I have not been able to include them in the activities I do with Miro because they end up being a bit "annoying" for the people trying to use them or they just lack a bit of variety in color options.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In general, using virtual whiteboards is a very useful tool to make dynamic online workshops. What I need is to be able to have a group of 15 or 30 people being able to add post-its, vote for their favourite options and organise or give priority to ideas visually. For this, Miro has fully met all my expectations. I have ended up also using it for team building activities and ideas sketching in small groups of 2 or 3 people. I even have a board for having a broad picture of projects and activities my team is involved in with the added value of being able to share it with all the team.
Miro has helped our remote teams work together
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is great for working together as a team. I like to run little workshops instead of meetings, and Miro is a great tool to get everyone involved.
I like having infinite space to work on, so I can make sure everything fits.

What do you dislike about the product?
I would need a way of filtering content, eg tables, to only work on a certain category at the time without needing to reorganize content manually.
Miro is so popular in our organization I sometimes get lost in all the Miro boards when trying to find a board.
